Question Which hydraulic steering fluid

I'm in the process of installing an Imco full hydraulic system and wonder about the fluids. Imco told me the best fluid would be Valvoline synthetic PS. Well, they no longer make it. I run Mobil 1 synthetic in my trucks Ps and wondering if it would be a good choice for this steering?
